Dear Open Library Patrons,
We need your help to make sure the Internet Archive—the non-profit that runs Open Library—lasts forever. On November 9, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change. This is a firm reminder that we must also design for change. So we set a new goal: to create a copy of our collections in the Internet Archive of Canada. This will cost millions. For us, it means keeping our cultural materials safe, private and perpetually accessible. It means preparing for a Web that may face greater restrictions. It means serving patrons when government surveillance may be on the rise. This is a non-profit library built on trust. Reader privacy is very important to us, so we don’t accept ads. We don’t collect your personal information. But we still need to pay for servers, staff and rent. If everyone reading this gave $50, we could end our fundraiser right now. If you use Open Library, please give what you can today. Thank you.
